Yes

Heavy metal Cinderella
Sudden death, now the thrill is gone
Oh yeah

Nice shot, you’re a killer
So what?
Some like it hot, be the urban guerilla

Somewhere in the concrete jungle
King Kong is thinkin’ big
Yeah, he is the hunter, he is the hunted
Guerilla, beware of the pig, yeah
Beware

Guerilla, urban guerilla,
Guerilla
